Many men survive war… but lose themselves after the uniform comes off.

In this episode of the Peace • Power • & Purpose Podcast, Steve Morris sits down with Michael Kurcina — former U.S. Marine, U.S. Army infantryman and Psychological Operations specialist, founder of Spotter Up Tactical Solutions, and creator of SpotterUp.com.

After years operating in high-stress combat environments, Michael faced the deeper battle many men experience after service — trauma, loss of identity, and the search for purpose beyond the uniform.

Through suffering and personal struggle, he ultimately discovered that true strength isn’t found in trying to carry life alone, but in faith, humility, and identity in Christ.

In this powerful conversation, Steve and Michael discuss:

• The unseen battles veterans face after war

• Trauma, identity loss, and the struggle many men face after service

• Why suffering often becomes the doorway to transformation

• Faith and masculinity in a broken world

• Rebuilding purpose and identity through Christ

Michael is also the author of We Fight Monsters, We Wrestle Silently, and We Make Ghosts, and host of the Spotter Up Podcast, where he shares stories from warriors, veterans, and leaders who have faced darkness and come out stronger.

This is a raw conversation about war, trauma, masculinity, faith, redemption, and finding purpose after the fight.
